Author: Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712
Image Title: The Coat Hook
Scripture Reference:
Description: Paul told the Christians at Corinth that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God and that the perishable cannot inherit the imperishable (1 Corinthians 15:50). Luiken observes that while the clothes hung on coat hooks received much attention from humans, they were inconsequential and will be removed upon one's death. The true strength of a human lies in the soul and deserves much more attention than clothing or other matters of appearance. The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649–1712), whose initials are at the lower right, was responsible for drawing and etching this emblem and wrote the accompanying poem.
